Trivia

Johnny starred in Extreme Heist, alongside Jason Narvy and Paul Schrier from Power Rangers, which was famous for its high-octane stunts. Johnny did all of his stunts, but he ended up with two cracked ribs, a twisted ankle, and nearly getting hit by a truck.

Johnny worked along with Daniel Southworth, the runner up for the role of Adam Park of Power Rangers at the 1994 audition, on Broken Path. However, he did split his head during a stunt and had to have five stitches.

Johnny is the second Power Ranger to appear in the videogame series Devil May Cry. The first was Daniel Southworth (Eric/Quantum Ranger in Power Rangers: Time Force) who voiced Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 and Credo in Devil May Cry 4.

At the first ever American Anime Awards held February 24, 2007 in New York City, Johnny was nominated for two awards: Best Actor, for his work in Akira, Bleach, and Eureka 7, and Best Actor in a Comedy, for his work in Akira. Unfortunately he did not win in either category.

Johnny was asked to "come down" and audition for the role of Vash in the anime Trigun. When he got there, he liked the look of the anime, decided to audition, and got the role, marking his entrance into the anime industry.

Extreme Heist) in 2002, Otakon in 2003, Anime Boston, Anime Evolution, Anime Iowa, Metrocon, Youmacon, and AnimeFest all in 2005, and Ohayocon, Shiokazecon, Metrocon, and Anime Expo all in 2006. His most recent convention was at Power Morphicon in 2007.

Quotes

Johnny: (on doing the voice of Vash in the anime Trigun, his first voiceover role) That was my first time to play animation stuff so it was tough. They gave me the first couple of episodes to watch, and Vash did a lot of screaming and high pitched voices...and he was crazy. I didn't really prepare, actually - I just went in to the booth.
